I fear this will be my last posting on this board, for I have now realized something. The inter-Elven discrimination is only because the High Elves are idiots who call themselves smart. They are physically weak, and find shelter in bullying; mentally insufficient, and find shelter in calling others so. High Elves are not worth my time. They are ignorant and useless. I would not have a single one hurt, in mind or body, lest he hurt me. And it looks like it has just come to insults being flung like primitive beings and feces, so I wish not to be aggravated by the blindness and foolishness of the High Elves to the point of harm. ((No OOC rage here. And Lauir'leh, post once, not thrice please))

A note, written in plain but neat hand writing, hangs attached to the others. It is on a parchment that is ever so slightly torn and hurt at the edges, but still very crisp and clean in the center. It reads Sir, permit me to say something from my heart that I would love for you to know. The Dark Elves, in my eyes, deserve the best cities, the best governments, and the best treatment of all the Elves. Your people have endured the worst discrimination of all, and I wish to only see that triumphed and fixed. Please, discover your history, and relate it back to the public, for I feel it will be the richest, most emotional timeline of any subrace, and that it will reflect the very best of your people. It is my regret I can offer you no hint to your past, but please, ask me for anything you so desire. The note is signed in a fashion much more elaborate than seen in the writing above, in a cursive font with grand loops and waves. Royce Haddon

For writing this post, and the subsequent from the topic's beginning, have I not only been proven right along the lines of High Elven racism, to the point at which they ignore my words and just admit it themselves? Has it not been shown a VAST majority of Wood Elves accept High and Dark, and Dark Elves accept High and Wood, but High Elves accept none? Only one High Elf has shown acceptance, and her words have indeed held the most wisdom; the most thought and tranquility. Why has this been shown so definitively that, as of now, this addition to this board is nonessential? Because every piece of diction thus far can be derived by one's own thoughts. But meaning I will give by saying this: When in a debate, the fools turn to hate. Keep this in mind, "High" Elves, as you all seem to be turning straight to hatred and separating yourselves, spare the kind Aurea. Love, Royce

((OOCly, when did Haelun'or secede from Malinor, because technically, it is on the lands of Malinor, seen here (click me!) So shouldn't there have been a war or some post about them seceding? Just wondering))

Dearest High Prince, your response should be a topic all its own. It is beyond the thought I put forth into my original (and quite wrong (forgive me, I was trying to get the ball rolling, and seemed to succeed)) posting here, and it has words that deserve be be read on their own. I stand with you in that entire posting. And to any who would make mean of the kind words above, he was not in any way being discriminatory, just stating what he has seen. Thank you, High Prince Haelphon.

To Nelecar, I wish not to imply righteousness in myself. I wish to have no implications, but merely to state that outright bigotry as such has been seen is simply idiotic. I will keep my response to you abrupt and plain, and have it concern merely your diction of superiority. Be the fool, he who claims his self great. Wise needs only to demonstrate. To Aurea, Concerning the quote above, you indeed shine again, and are proper in saying that as a High Elf, it should be proven that you are superior, rather than stated in blind racism. --Royce Haddon

Aurea, you are perhaps the most respectful and intelligent Elf I have found, and that I deeply appreciate. However, there are often other High Elves who push me away as soon as the recognize me to be a Wood Elf, and I have great disdain for such. I do respect and love High Elves, as they are most definitely my brethren, kin or not. I hate to be pushed away, and posted this in order to see other's opinions and how at least I can not push away the High Elves. Indeed, it is likely you who is able to discern with the most wondrous amount of thought what is truly happening. As such, I would be quite joyous should you share with me your own opinions of how Wood and Dark Elves discriminate. And as always, I thank your respect. As for the one with the response before me, you are the reason I made this thread. You deserve no such response as Aurea.

A response, in the same writ as the original post, is placed behind the first parchment. Ah, I know the judgement was passed, and I am indeed glad you showed me the prejudice in my own posting, however, I would have to say a few things. I sincerely do agree that keeping it close to heart the construction of the High Elven town, however it should not be so secretive that many Non-High Elves know absolutely nothing of it. I indeed respect the culture of High Elves, it is so enthralling and beautiful, but it needs to not be entirely a secret from your brethren. But within your response is the very discrimination of which I speak. I agree, my post may have been... blunt, but you use language such that shows you see us as feeble. "A noble culture," implying ours is not. "Safe from the threat," implies you assume Wood and Dark Elves would taint your reconstruction, when I would merely marvel at its inherent beauty. And "hang out your dirty laundry," leaving a hint as to how you find my opinions. I deeply respect yours, they are anything but dirty laundry. They are great to know, great to debate, great to discuss. I merely meant to get the ball rolling and to see how my own prejudices could be curbed, and hoped that some would be curbed in others as well. No offense was meant, and none should have been taken.

We all know that there is discrimination among our own race. Not to the Mori'Quessir, but between High Elves and the others, Wood and Dark Elves. It is seen in the separation they choose to have in housing. The number of Non-High Elves they tell to turn away. The High Elves having a different bulletin board. The High Elves not even sharing the information about their village. The differences they are hiding from the other Elves, driving a stave into our relations. But it is not just the High Elves. Wood Elves, like myself, and Dark Elves are also guilty of inter-race prejudice. Specific examples are hard for me to list, as they come from my side. If a High Elf would like to share some they observe, I would indeed love to hear it. I am tired of it.

It has been over 3 years since I have applied, why the delay?! There has surely been time to consider applicants! ((It's been a week...))

((Are both entries described of the same battle? They sound as though they could be, just different view points. Can you clarify in the main post, please?))
